Leading the newfound wingman into attack, Long Yun already knew that this person had the nickname "Banana Superman".

Because he heard from Qi Hui that this Russian young man named "Kvass" had ejected and parachuted in an air battle, and as a result, the K-36 ejection seat that was thrown out actually hit a Liberal MiG-21PFM that was not long-eyed; The unlucky guy who was lucky enough to carry it to his grandmother's house caught fire and smoked, crashed all the way, and finally returned to the arms of Mother Earth one step earlier than "Kvass", which stunned all the spectators on the ground, and immediately confirmed this vulgar nickname.

However, nicknames are nicknames, and if he really pilots a fighter plane into battle, of course Long Yun will not use any "superman" to call his comrades-in-arms, he feels that this is not only impolite, but also a little unlucky.

After all, when "Superman" flies in the sky, he doesn't have any fighters, mainly relying on a pair of underwear worn outside, which is not a good analogy for pilots: generally speaking, when a pilot soars freely in the sky and feels the air blowing all over his body, he has already lost his fighter, which may not be a big deal in the air force of a big country, but for NATA in an embarrassing situation......

That's very troublesome, just with such a little bit of possessions in the third independent squadron, parachuting is no different from crashing, there will be no planes in the squadron with three jumps and two jumps, okay, now if you fall one, there will be one less!

Feeling the difficult predicament of NATA, or 3rd_IHFS, Long Yun beckoned the wingman to continue to follow him, paying attention to the direction of the two of them at six o'clock, he still didn't know anything about the black oppressive "ghost" in the sky ahead, just trying to figure out one of his previous doubts. That's why it's all the same lift-off to fight. The battle in the skies of Iraq was particularly tiring. Much more exhausting than a VVS service in a parallel world?

In fact, this phenomenon is easy to understand to put it bluntly.

Less than a week after joining NATA, he has been baptized by a storm of cold wind and yellow sand, and what Long Yun does is not much different from that in the parallel world, but the surrounding environment and the strength of his opponent are very different.

In the Eastern and Western battlefields in the parallel world, even in the face of the most complex form of war and the most powerful enemy planes attacking, because he has full confidence in the prospects of the war and knows very well what he should do, Long Yun's battle has always been to do his best and fight for victory without any worries; And as a top member of the Red Air Force. Viktor Rezenov was backed by a whole system of operations of the Soviet Air Force, and as long as he did his duty, he could see the dawn of final victory.

But now, as a volunteer pilot of NATA, almost every time he encounters a large number of enemy planes in the air, the balance of power between the enemy and us is completely one-sided, and he often does not see a comrade-in-arms around, nor can he get the air support of the command system, and Long Yun is often fighting completely alone.

Every time he fought fiercely in the sky and fought to the death, Long Yun often felt that he was a flat-leaf light boat in the stormy waves, even if he tried his best to resist the enemy, he could not stop the overwhelming enemy attack.

Not only that. Long Yun had already been watching the civil war in Iraq, but now he has obtained first-hand information from the New Party military about the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us. This naturally makes it difficult for him to be optimistic; As a volunteer pilot, although he believes in the role of human subjective factors in war, he has to admit that under the conditions of modern warfare, the level and scale of weapons and equipment are the first factor that determines the outcome of a war.

However, looking at the current situation, looking at the entire NATA, the number of various types of fighters is less than 100, and two-thirds of them are completely obsolete goods such as MiG-21 and Mirage F1.

Now, with NATA's only about 30 Su-27SK/SKM/UB and J-10A/AS, it has to defend more than 100,000 square kilometers of national airspace, and it is okay to put it in the area where the song and dance is leveling, but now it is difficult for the Iraqi Liberal Party in the south, the Syrian rebels in the west, and the combined European Community army in the north to press the border, and the number of fighters of these three forces adds up to not 1,000 but 800, and it also includes the fourth-generation fighters of old Europe, and even more terrifying attack aircraft.

Ah, thinking like this is completely masochistic, and there is no possibility of victory at all!

When he was in the air to engage in battle, he thought of such a messy thought, and Long Yun felt that this was not very good; However, he did not express optimism about the current situation, and then he remembered the words of the head of the 3rd_IHFS, Sami Ahmed; Perhaps, as the elder Sammy put it, the only hope for the new regime lies from the outside.

In addition, the ALSA and UNSA around Iraq are two powerful forces that dominate the Middle East sky, and these two forces, which are subordinate to the League of Arab States and the United Nations respectively, are basically a stable force for maintaining regional peace.

Just look at the current momentum of the Iraqi Liberal Party and the Syrian rebels, although they have the support of the forces behind the scenes, they are very proud of their might in the Middle East, but in fact, they are all relying on smuggling of weapons and equipment and indiscriminate sale of oil resources to slap the swollen face and become fat; So now, as long as we can manage to arouse a high degree of international concern and even realize that a series of turbulent crises are just around the corner, as long as we can trigger the armed intervention of any one of China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, whether it is the Liberal Party or the rebels, in the face of the crushing military superiority of the superpowers, they will only be a few inaccessible chickens and dogs!

But......

The call of the GCI guide suddenly sounded, ending Long Yun's reverie, no matter what the Middle East shape shì would develop next, at least for now, he could only cooperate with his comrade-in-arms "kvas" against the enemy:

"'Red Dragon', 'Red Dragon', the target is still 32, 2C, the model is unknown, the number is at least twenty, please pay attention to the direction of entry, stay vigilant, over."

"Received, confirmed enemy coordinates 32, 2C......"

While calling on the radio, Long Yun switched the radar scanning method, and then stared at the display screen suspiciously for a few seconds, he didn't know how to answer, is the coordinate of the enemy plane really in 32 or 2C?

"To call 'Tower of Babel' and 'Tower of Babel', you need to confirm the location of the target, and I did not find the target in the airspace of 32 and 2C; Repeat, request to confirm the target bearing, 32, 2C airspace did not find the target, over. ”

At the same time as calling the command station, Long Yun confirmed that the ZHUK-27 radar of the landline had been set in the downward view mode, and the 32 and 2C coordinates did correspond to the sky over Nasya, which means that the scanning area and method he set were no problem, but unlike the report from the command station, the radar display screen was still empty.

At a distance of more than 50 kilometers, using the downward view mode of Doppler filtering to find the enemy, the performance of the ZHUK-27 should not be inferior to this kind of process, and the screen display in front of him made Long Yun feel a little confused.

As if to confirm Long Yun's doubts, there was a "squeak" response in the headset at this time:

"'Red Dragon', 'Red Dragon', confirm that the target coordinates are the same, and the enemy plane is still stranded in the sky over Nasya, over."

What is the situation, are those enemy planes really alive?

Thinking about who is more credible between the fighter radar and the GCI system, Long Yun does not dare to overestimate the MTBF (Mean_Time_Between_Failure, mean time between failures) of the onboard electronics, especially under the poor guarantee conditions of NATA, he initially thought that there should be something wrong with the radar.

However, he quickly called "kvass", and the Russian young man also reported that there was nothing on his radar, but he could search for a number of targets in the northern sky hundreds of kilometers away, and his eyes stared at the radar display screen for a while, Long Yun himself found the same problem, and the idea of "new fighter" that Qi Hui had talked about before suddenly popped up.

These FSA fighters bombing in the sky of Nasya, should they be some kind of radar stealth storage?

Suddenly aware of this, Long Yun immediately realized how sinister the shape was at the moment, and after a moment's deliberation, he called the wingman, alerted the "kvass" that they might have encountered the Liberal stealth fighters, and then immediately led the "kvass" to dive down and fly southwest along the undulating desert.

According to his guess just now, if the opponent is really a stealth fighter, the possibility of using the downward view mode to find the opponent at a distance of tens of kilometers is almost zero, but the opponent can find the storage of the two of them through the scanning beam signal of the guòZHUK-27, so it is pointless to continue to stay in the medium-altitude airspace; The only viable option, apart from turning around and fleeing, is to engage the enemy at ultra-low altitudes, use the IRST system to search for targets, try to engage them, and perhaps compete with the Syrian rebel planes that are busy bombing.

But even so, in the face of the fourth-generation stealth fighter that will inevitably have superior comprehensive performance, it is difficult for the two Su-27SKMs to make a difference, thinking of this, Long Yun is under a lot of pressure, and he doesn't know if it is a wise thing to rush over with his wingman like this.

But in addition to the pressure of enemy aircraft, there is also a great mystery lingering in Long Yun's heart now:

Then again, how could a rabble-like separatist group like the Syrian rebels get their hands on such advanced fighters......

Counting the threat of stealth fighters in the southern sky, the "Syrian no-fly zone" distributed in the north and south was already in turmoil at this time: except for the Syrian "ghost" fleet that secretly crossed the border to bomb at ultra-low altitude, Li Gejian and Gao Meiyu, who discovered FSA fighters during routine patrols, were also caught in an encounter at this time.
